It's well documented that I hate baseball. That's mainly because my boyhood favorite team - the San Diego Padres - are freaking awful. And they have been for the better part of 40 years. Last night they did something that made me realize that, yes, I am completely justified in ...

The San Diego Padres suck. We all know this. Following a 2-0 win over the Texas Rangers Sunday night, the Friars are currently 33-41 and 14 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West race. Why do I bring this up? Because despite the level of ineptitude ...

Readers of this site will know that I'm (more or less) taking the year off from rooting for my beloved San Diego Padres because of a recent team decision to cut ties with a Hall-of-Fame player for no good reason and generally try to suck as much as possible. It's ...

On Tuesday evening during the 2009 MLB Draft, an incredibly confusing event transpired. With the No. 3 pick in the first round, the San Diego Padres selected high school outfielder Donavan Tate. For the rest of the evening, on several Web sites, the pick was listed as: Tate, Donavan. I ...

Yesterday the San Diego Padres won their 10th straight game. They didn't just win it, they had an improbable comeback against a division rival on the road. They trailed 7-1 entering the top of the 8th inning. They scored five runs in the eighth, then tied the game with another ...

Last night a really cool thing happened in San Diego. Anthony Keith Gwynn returned and led the Padres to a 3-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants. No I didn't take a flying Delorian back to 1998, this time the Gwynn in question had a "Jr." appended to his name.
Tony ...

Most of you probably remember just how awesome Heath Bell is. In case you needed a reminder, he's the guy who called out ESPN's baseball coverage, saying it was biased towards the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees and New York Mets. He then implored anyone listening to tune in ...

As a fan of the San Diego Padres I know I'm supposed to hate every member of opposing National League West teams. I really, really want to adhere to that line of thinking. Just perusing the other NL West rosters and selecting a random name I can tell you that ...

Earlier in the week we posted about how Heath Bell really doesn't like ESPN and Baseball Tonight's coverage of Major League Baseball. He claimed the WWL only cared about the Red Sox, Yankees and Mets. So basically he said exactly what we've all been thinking for years. Then, he went ...

While you might think I'd use this space to inform you that Jody Gerut's leadoff homerun at Citi Field last night was the first time a ballpark has been greeted with a homerun in the opening at bat, or to blab along about the San Diego Padres being 6-2 right ...

Several times over the past few months I've opined about the San Diego Padres and how they've basically given their fans a huge shit sandwich over the past two years. And after all that, after doing everything they could to alienate the fanbase, kill local support and piss me off ...

After roughly a decade and a half of Trevor Hoffman ruling their 'pen, the San Diego Padres have a new closer. Everyone's favorite Wii Fit user, Heath Bell, took the ball in the ninth inning last night with a 4-2 lead and shut the door on the Los Angeles Dodgers. ...

A lot has been made around these parts about the ineptitude of the San Diego Padres. And, fairly or not, much of the blame has fallen on the shoulders of CEO and emotionless cyborg, Sandy Alderson. The guy made completely awful decisions over the past few years. So bad were ...

OK, OK, Phillips and I may have written about this subject a few dozen times this offseason, but hey it beats exercising. Our anger has been worked out and now we're (kind of) in the process of moving on. I've taken up Premier League Soccer Football again while Phillips...well, I ...

So Phillips and I have told baseball to go fuck itself for the 2009 season, meaning I don't care that pitchers and catchers report in a couple of weeks, or that Manny Ramirez is sitting RIGHT FUCKING THERE for the Padres, but their currently-getting-divorced owner can't spare a dime (or ...
